At Mme. Curie's Lab

In addition to being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the only person ever to have won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Curie welcomed other women into her lab. It was her lab from the untimely death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, till her own death in 1934. She ran it, enlarged it, moved it into the imposing new Radium Institute, and peopled it with an international assembly of scientists, more than forty of whom were women, including her daughter Irène, the second woman to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Revealing the Cosmos: Exploring Deep Space with the Webb Telescope

Now in science operations, NASA’s Webb Telescope is the most powerful telescope ever built. Science results are now pouring in from Webb like a waterfall. In this talk, Dr. Riby will summarize what this Webb is, how it works, and the breadth and the depth of its science program, from planets in our own solar system to galaxies seen when the Universe was young. She will touch on the power of using Webb in combination with cosmic telescopes, also known as gravitational lenses.

Wright Lab All Hands Meeting, Karsten Heeger

“Wright Lab Self-Study and Community Feedback”

In this WL all-hands meeting we will discuss the results and community feedback to the WL questionnaire and our plans for the future. Please fill out the WL questionnaire for the physics self-study and come with your ideas and suggestions for how we can make Wright Lab even better!

The Wright Lab community is invited to a weekly meeting on Mondays at 9:30 a.m. in WL-216 to hear about and discuss what is going on at the lab.

Host: Karsten Heeger
